Hemicellulose bioconversion

TL;DR: In this article, various pre-treatment options as well as enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable sugars are reviewed and the barriers, progress, and prospects of developing an environmentally benign bioprocess for large-scale conversion of hemicellulose to fuel ethanol, xylitol, 2,3-butanediol, and other value added fermentation products are highlighted.

Pretreatment of lignocellulose: Formation of inhibitory by-products and strategies for minimizing their effects

TL;DR: The importance of management of inhibition problems is envisaged to increase as issues that become increasingly relevant will include the possibility to use recalcitrant feedstocks, obtaining high product yields and high productivity, minimizing the charges of enzymes and microorganisms, and using high solids loadings to obtain high product titers.

Inhibition of ethanol-producing yeast and bacteria by degradation products produced during pre-treatment of biomass.

TL;DR: The inhibitory effect on ethanol production by yeast and bacteria is presented and the inhibition of volumetric ethanol productivity was found to depend on the amount of methoxyl substituents and hence hydrophobicity (log P).
